I don't have a bias against Steam as far as disliking it or wanting it to fail. As I have said multiple times I buy Steamworks games and prefer Steamworks to any other multiplayer solution right now. I just don't like how big Steam has gotten and how many people only use Steam for gaming purchases.

You admitted wanting to see Steam hurt even if it makes no sense. The justification you use to arrive at your opinion isn't what I was talking about. Steam has competition and people don't just buy games from Steam in case you're genuinely worried about it. Some people might do that but some people also like country music and the world carries on.

No one can monopolize an open platform, stop worrying about the who and worry instead about the why.
